PAST EVENTS

The luncheon fundraiser was sponsored through the generosity of Clara Maass Medical Center. The generosity of Clara Maass Medical Center allowed 100% of the fundraiser ticket sale proceeds to go to the RAIN Foundation.

Bloomfield Pride sponsors, Clara Maass Medical Center, provided 25 FREE TICKETS to the Seton Hall men's basketball game at the Prudential Center in Newark at 1:00 PM on February 18th and the group was recognized as special guests.

Bloomfield Pride held a fundraiser luncheon on Saturday, Feb. 3rd at Spice Thai Cuisine, in Bloomfield, that benefited the LGBT Rain Foundation which is located in East Orange, NJ and provides emergency shelter and programming services for LGBTQ+ youth in need.

The event was sold out and everyone enjoyed the amazing food, the excitement of some raffle prizes, meeting representatives of the RAIN Foundation and the spirit of community - helping one another. Additional cash donations are encouraged via a GoFundMe campaign.

Bloomfield Pride supported the Bloomfield Public Library in a grant proposal to the NJ Council for the Humanities that was successful. The Library will be hosting Take Pride, Bloomfield! events from January 2018 through June 2018, which will feature museum tours, book and film dissemination and discussion and more events that study LGBTQ+ issues within the framework of the larger community.

Keep a lookout for rainbow, Ally, stickers about town!

Bloomfield Pride Committee members have been visiting businesses around Bloomfield asking if they would put a rainbow, Ally, sticker in their window or somewhere inside their businesses to let people know that their business welcomes everyone, including the LGBTQ+ community. Be sure to patronize these businesses to show our thanks and appreciation of their support!
